Real estate agent Anthony Graham has his family on the run after witnessing a murder at thehands of the powerful Costello crime family.They're forced to hide at one of Anthony's properties: a deserted campground with a sinisterpast.No one is safe from the men that hunt them or the terrors that await them inside The Devil'sNest. "A taut, nerve-jangling novel that puts Durgin's skills as an author on full display. Highly recommended."-Ronald Malfi, bestselling author of Come with Me "John Durgin is the sort of storyteller that puts the hook in from the first word and refuses to let go untilthe last. His second novel, INSIDE THE DEVIL'S NEST, has sharp teeth that sink in deep and bite downhard. It cracks open the stubborn shell of the most jaded horror reader, exposing your greatest fears andplaying relentlessly with the tender nerves within. An incredible genre masterwork by an equallyincredible author!"-Ronald Kelly, Author of Fear, The Essential Sick Stuff, and Southern-Fried & Horrified "Every now and then a book comes along that doesn't pull its punches. John Durgin's, INSIDE THEDEVIL'S NEST, is one of those rare treats. It's a rip-roaring ride full of fury and fear and doesn't stop tolet you catch your breath. Part gritty mob drama, part supernatural horror, it's as much Ozark as it is TheShining, yet something wholly its own. Durgin has outdone himself with this one."-Nick Roberts, award-winning author of The Exorcist's House and Anathema. "A journey through the worst nightmare of any father, INSIDE THE DEVIL'S NEST seduces with itsmysteries and atmosphere, then eviscerates with its ghastly horrors. John writes as if channeling thewhispers of a cult, and he terrifies with the malice of a soul-starved god..."-Felix Blackwell, author of Stolen Tongues "John Durgin's sophomore novel plays notes from King's The Shining, but adds a fresh harmony anddynamic new rhythms. INSIDE THE DEVIL'S NEST is a tale of family and loss, mob bosses and cult leaders, threaded throughout with genuine chills and near-unbearable tension."-Brennan LaFaro, Author of Noose and Slattery Falls "I haven't been this riveted while reading a piece of fiction in a long time. INSIDE THE DEVIL'S NEST isvisceral and unflinching and emotion-filled, one of the best novels I've read this year."-Jeremy Hepler, Bram Stoker-nominated author of Sunray Alice "Durgin thrusts his reader directly INSIDE THE DEVIL'S NEST with an expertly crafted tale of goodintentions gone wrong. A strong cast of characters, a heavy dose of heart, and ever-increasing tensiondrives the story to its explosive and horrific end."-Candace Nola, author of Bishop & Hank Flynn "Imagine the Byrde family from Ozark entangled with a long dead, supernatural cult...Relentlessly pacedwith unpredictable twists and turns, Durgin's INSIDE THE DEVIL'S NEST is a hell of a ride."-Kenzie Jennings, author of the Splatterpunk Award-nominated Reception and Red Station "With his horror/thriller INSIDE THE DEVIL'S NEST, Durgin has wasted no time finding his footing amongtoday's top horror writers. Fans of Keene and King should be watching this guy like a hawk. He's thefuture."- Joshua Marsella, Author of Hunger For Death… (altro)

What a gripping fast paced story. This poor family and all they endure. Secrets hurt others and these end up being very deadly. From the prologue, you will hit the floor running with this family as their worst nightmares unfold and take them to places they never would have imagined. ( )

A fantastic sophomore effort by Mr. Durgin. If you thought The Cursed Among Us was a great read last year, this one will blow you away. If you think you know where this story is going, you will be completely wrong by the end. I don't wanna give any of the book away, but lets just say you'll really feel for 'some' of the family. ( )

I didn't mind this novel, and it did have some good creeps, however, for me, there were a couple of things that lessened my enjoyment of the entire novel.

The first is, it felt, at times, as though the novel wasn't sure if it was an "on the run from a mob boss with the standard violent end" novel, or a "set up a situation where a family ends up on haunted property and let the horrors begin" novel.

To Durgin's credit, it didn't take him long to get the family to the titular Devil's Nest, and we started getting a taste of the horror fairly soon. And I must say, the horror elements were handled very well.

But...this also leads to my second point, and it's strictly a personal preference, personal enjoyment results may vary...but I'm not a fan of "crazed supernatural cult leader" angle at all. Honestly, had I got a sense of that from the back cover blurb, I likely would not have picked it up.

Again, though, if we set that aspect (and my personal preference) aside, I will say that Durgin did a good job of mixing the disparate storylines into a cohesive whole, turning this novel into a mashup of Goodfellas and The Shining by way of Swamp Thing.

Likely similar to every reader who is also an author (and likely lots of readers who aren't authors), I usually get invested in a novel and then my mind starts looking forward, extrapolating the plot points to where I think this ride will end up. Sometimes I'm right—yay!—and very often I'm wrong, because the author surprised the heck out of me and gave me an ending better than I could have expected—yay!—and then there's times where the ending isn't what I expected, and I wonder why it didn't go the way I expected it to. In those cases, I'll usually respect the author's decision, but I'll also feel a little cheated.

Without spoiling anything, I'll say the ending to this one went that third way. There was an obvious—and very satisfying (again, to my mind) ending that could have come out of the mob boss/cult leader plot threads that just didn't coalesce, and I'm kinda bummed it didn't.

But I can't fault the novel for that, that's all my subjectivity coming to the fore. So, in the end, I'll say if the Goodfellas and The Shining by way of Swamp Thing thing is up your alley, you're gonna dig this. ( )
